The role of data as a strategic enabler has become increasingly crucial to the long-term competitiveness of organisations. Netflix, for example, is one of the prominent examples of organisations that have successfully leveraged data to strengthen and sustain their competitive market position. One of the company’s many data-driven innovations is its market-leading Recommendations System that uses machine learning technologies to provide personalised recommendations that Netflix viewers will most likely enjoy. This system is so successful that it is estimated to create more than $1 billion in business value per year according to Netflix’s Chief Product Officer Neil Hunt.

Around 2011, I was working as a product manager to work with HP’s enterprise architecture team. Soon after, I noticed these folks were wired just like me—they were systems thinkers. About this time my new friend, Don Brancato, encouraged me to get a copy of Enterprise Architecture as Strategy by Jeanne Ross, Peter Weill, and David Robertson. As I read the book from cover to cover, I remember thinking, “now everything that is going on in IT makes sense.” It was only later that I actually got to be trained in TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework).
